HOW TO APPLY

Apply. You’ll need to have some information handy; test scores, transcripts and a resume. Don’t be surprised if you get a call from our founder, Rowan Claypool after you hit submit.

Talk to Blake. He’s our admissions guru. He’ll give you more detailed information on the admissions process and conduct a phone interview to see if you’re the right fit for the program.

Take a Praxis Subject Assessment and a CASE/GRE Test. The Praxis Subject Assessment will tell us how well you know your content area. The CASE/GRE will measure basic verbal, writing and math skills. The University of Louisville provides a list of some great resources to help you prepare.

Get invited to Recruiting Weekend. This is where you’ll finally get a chance to visit Louisville. You’ll meet current participants, the Teach Kentucky staff and have the opportunity to meet with representatives from the University of Louisville and Jefferson County Public Schools. Did we mention that most of your expenses are paid?

After recruitment weekend, the real work begins. If you’re extended a spot in the program, you’ll start the next phase; gaining admission to an MAT program, applying for a teaching job in Jefferson County Public Schools and starting to plan your move to our glorious city, Louisville, Kentucky.
